ISL6622A ® Data Sheet March 19, 2009 VR11.1 Compatible Synchronous Rectified Buck MOSFET Drivers Features • Dual MOSFET Drives for Synchronous Rectified Bridge The ISL6622A is a high frequency MOSFET driver designed to drive upper and lower power N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous rectified buck converter topology. The advanced PWM protocol of ISL6622A is specifically designed to work with Intersil VR11.1 controllers and combined with N-Channel MOSFETs, form a complete core-voltage regulator solution for advanced microprocessors. When ISL6622A detects a PSI protocol sent by an Intersil VR11.1 controller, it activates Diode Emulation (DE) operation; otherwise, it operates in normal Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) PWM mode. In the 8 Ld SOIC package, the ISL6622A drives the upper gate to 12V while the lower get can be driven from 5V to 12V. The 10 Ld DFN part allows for more flexibility. The upper gate can be driven from 5V to 12V using the UVCC pin and the lower gate can also be driven from 5V to 12V using the LVCC pin. This provides the flexibility necessary to optimize applications involving trade-offs between gate charge and conduction losses. To further enhance light load efficiency, the ISL6622A enables diode emulation operation during PSI mode. This allows Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) by detecting when the inductor current reaches zero and subsequently turning off the low side MOSFET to prevent it from sinking current. An advanced adaptive shoot-through protection is integrated to prevent both the upper and lower MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously and to minimize dead time. The ISL6622A has a 20kΩ integrated high-side gate-to-source resistor to prevent self turn-on due to high input bus dV/dt. This driver adds an overvoltage protection feature operational while VCC is below its POR threshold; the PHASE node is connected to the gate of the low side MOSFET (LGATE) via a 10kΩ resistor limiting the output voltage of the converter close to the gate threshold of the low side MOSFET, dependent on the current being shunted, which provides some protection to the load should the upper MOSFET(s) become shorted. 1 FN6601.2 • Advanced Adaptive Zero Shoot-Through Protection • 36V Internal Bootstrap Schottky Diode • Diode Emulation For Enhanced Light Load Efficiency • Bootstrap Capacitor Overcharging Prevention • Supports High Switching Frequency - 3A Sinking Current Capability - Fast Rise/Fall Times and Low Propagation Delays • Advanced PWM Protocol (Patent Pending) to Support PSI Mode, Diode Emulation, Three-State Operation • Pre-POR Overvoltage Protection for Start-up and Shutdown • VCC Undervoltage Protection • Expandable Bottom Copper Pad for Enhanced Heat Sinking • Dual Flat No-Lead (DFN) Package - Near Chip-Scale Package Footprint; Improves PCB Efficiency and Thinner in Profile • Pb-Free (RoHS Compliant) Applications • High Light Load Efficiency Voltage Regulators • Core Regulators for Advanced Microprocessors • High Current DC/DC Converters • High Frequency and High Efficiency VRM and VRD Related Literature • Technical Brief TB363 “Guidelines for Handling and Processing Moisture Sensitive Surface Mount Devices (SMDs)” • Technical Brief TB417 “Designing Stable Compensation Networks for Single Phase Voltage Mode Buck Regulators” for Power Train Design, Layout Guidelines, and Feedback Compensation Design CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures. 1-888-INTERSIL or 1-888-468-3774 | Intersil (and design) is a registered trademark of Intersil Americas Inc.

TIMING DIAGRAM Description Operation and Adaptive Shoot-through Protection Designed for high speed switching, the ISL6622A MOSFET driver controls both high-side and low-side N-Channel FETs from one externally provided PWM signal. A rising transition on PWM initiates the turn-off of the lower MOSFET (see Figure 1). After a short propagation delay [tPDLL], the lower gate begins to fall. Typical fall time [tFL] is provided in the “Electrical Specifications” on page 5. Following a 25ns blanking period, adaptive shoot-through circuitry monitors the LGATE voltage and turns on the upper gate following a short delay time [tPDHU] after the LGATE voltage drops below ~1.75V. The upper gate drive then begins to rise [tRU] and the upper MOSFET turns on. A falling transition on PWM indicates the turn-off of the upper MOSFET and the turn-on of the lower MOSFET. A short propagation delay [tPDLU] is encountered before the upper gate begins to fall [tFU]. The adaptive shoot-through circuitry monitors the UGATE-PHASE voltage and turns on the lower MOSFET a short delay time [tPDHL] after the upper MOSFET’s PHASE voltage drops below +0.8V or 40ns after the upper MOSFET’s gate voltage [UGATE-PHASE] drops below ~1.75V. The lower gate then rises [tRL], turning on the lower MOSFET. These methods prevent both the lower and upper MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously (shoot-through), while adapting the dead-time to the gate charge characteristics of the MOSFETs being used. This driver is optimized for voltage regulators with large step down ratio. The lower MOSFET is usually sized larger compared to the upper MOSFET because the lower MOSFET conducts for a longer time during a switching period. The lower gate driver is therefore sized much larger to meet this application requirement. The 0.8Ω ON-resistance and 3A sink current capability enable the lower gate driver to absorb the current injected into the lower gate through the drain-to-gate capacitor of the lower MOSFET and help prevent 6 shoot-through caused by the self turn-on of the lower MOSFET due to high dV/dt of the switching node. Advanced PWM Protocol (Patent Pending) The advanced PWM protocol of ISL6622A is specifically designed to work with Intersil VR11.1 controllers. When ISL6622A detects a PSI protocol sent by an Intersil VR11.1 controller, it turns on diode emulation operation; otherwise, it remains in normal CCM PWM mode. Another unique feature of ISL6622A and other Intersil drivers is the addition of a three-state shutdown window to the PWM input. If the PWM signal enters and remains within the shutdown window for a set holdoff time, the driver outputs are disabled and both MOSFET gates are pulled and held low. The shutdown state is removed when the PWM signal moves outside the shutdown window. Otherwise, the PWM rising and falling thresholds outlined in the “Electrical Specifications” on page 4 determine when the lower and upper gates are enabled. This feature helps prevent a negative transient on the output voltage when the output is shut down, eliminating the Schottky diode that is used in some systems for protecting the load from reversed output voltage events. Note that the LGATE will not turn off until the diode emulation minimum LGATE ON-time of 350ns is expired for a PWM low to tri-level (2.5V) transition. Power-On Reset (POR) Function During initial start-up, the VCC voltage rise is monitored. Once the rising VCC voltage exceeds rising POR threshold, operation of the driver is enabled and the PWM input signal takes control of the gate drives. If VCC drops below the falling threshold, operation of the driver is disabled. Pre-POR Overvoltage Protection While VCC is below its POR level, the upper gate is held low and LGATE is connected to the PHASE pin via an internal 10kΩ (typically) resistor. By connecting the PHASE node to the gate of the low side MOSFET, the driver offers some passive FN6601.2 March 19, 2009 ISL6622A protection to the load if the upper MOSFET(s) is or becomes shorted. If the PHASE node goes higher than the gate threshold of the lower MOSFET, it results in the progressive turn-on of the device and the effective clamping of the PHASE node’s rise. The actual PHASE node clamping level depends on the lower MOSFET’s electrical characteristics, as well as the characteristics of the input supply and the path connecting it to the respective PHASE node. Internal Bootstrap Device The ISL6622A features an internal bootstrap Schottky diode. Simply adding an external capacitor across the BOOT and PHASE pins completes the bootstrap circuit. The bootstrap function is also designed to prevent the bootstrap capacitor from overcharging due to the large negative swing at the trailing-edge of the PHASE node. This reduces voltage stress on the BOOT to PHASE pins. 1.6 1.4 CBOOT_CAP (µF) 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 QGATE = 100nC 0.4 50nC 0.2 20nC 0.0 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 ΔVBOOT_CAP (V) FIGURE 2.

In the DFN package, a separate UVCC pin is available for the upper gate drive voltage to be driven from 5V to 12V for efficiency optimization, while the lower gate can be driven independently using the LVCC pin from 5V to 12V. Diode Emulation Diode emulation allows for higher converter efficiency under light-load situations. With diode emulation active, the ISL6622A detects the zero current crossing of the output inductor and turns off LGATE. This prevents the low side MOSFET from sinking current and ensures that discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is achieved. The LGATE has a minimum on-time of 350ns in DCM mode. Power Dissipation Package power dissipation is mainly a function of the switching frequency (FSW), the output drive impedance, the external gate resistance, and the selected MOSFET’s internal gate resistance and total gate charge. Calculating the power dissipation in the driver for a desired application is critical to ensure safe operation. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation level may push the IC beyond the maximum recommended operating junction temperature. The DFN package is more suitable for high frequency applications. See “Layout Considerations” on page 8 for thermal transfer improvement suggestions. When designing the driver into an application, it is recommended that the following calculation is used to ensure safe operation at the desired frequency for the selected MOSFETs. The total gate drive power losses due to the gate charge of MOSFETs and the driver’s internal circuitry and their corresponding average driver current can be estimated with Equations 2 and 3, respectively: P Qg_TOT = P Qg_Q1 + P Qg_Q2 + I Q • VCC (EQ. 2) Q G1 • UVCC 2 P Qg_Q1 = --------------------------------------- • F SW • N Q1 V GS1 Q G2 • LVCC 2 P Qg_Q2 = -------------------------------------- • F SW • N Q2 V GS2 ⎛ Q G1 • UVCC • NQ1 Q G2 • LVCC • N Q2⎞ I DR = ⎜ ------------------------------------------------------ + -----------------------------------------------------⎟ • F SW + I Q V GS1 V GS2 ⎝ ⎠ (EQ. 3) where QG1 is the amount of gate charge per upper MOSFET at VGS1 gate-source voltage and NQ1 is the number of control MOSFETs. The ΔVBOOT_CAP term is defined as the allowable droop in the rail of the upper gate drive. Select results are exemplified in Figure 2.

The IQ*VCC product is the quiescent power of the driver without capacitive load. FN6601.2 March 19, 2009 ISL6622A The total gate drive power losses are dissipated among the resistive components along the transition path, as outlined in Equation 4. The drive resistance dissipates a portion of the total gate drive power losses, the rest will be dissipated by the external gate resistors (RG1 and RG2) and the internal gate resistors (RGI1 and RGI2) of MOSFETs. Figures 3 and 4 show the typical upper and lower gate drives turn-on current path.

TYPICAL LOWER-GATE DRIVE TURN-ON PATH Application Information Layout Considerations During switching of the devices, the parasitic inductances of the PCB and the power devices’ packaging (both upper and lower MOSFETs) leads to ringing, possibly in excess of the absolute maximum rating of the devices. Careful layout can help minimize such unwanted stress. The following advice is meant to lead to an optimized layout: • Keep decoupling loops (LVCC-GND and BOOT-PHASE) as short as possible. 8 • Minimize the inductance of the PHASE node: ideally, the source of the upper and the drain of the lower MOSFET should be as close as thermally allowable. • Minimize the input current loop: connect the source of the lower MOSFET to ground as close to the transistor pin as feasible; input capacitors (especially ceramic decoupling) should be placed as close to the drain of upper and source of lower MOSFETs as possible. In addition, for improved heat dissipation, place copper underneath the IC whether it has an exposed pad or not. The copper area can be extended beyond the bottom area of the IC and/or connected to buried power ground plane(s) with thermal vias. This combination of vias for vertical heat escape, extended surface copper islands, and buried planes combine to allow the IC and the power switches to achieve their full thermal potential. Upper MOSFET Self Turn-On Effects At Startup CGD RHI1 • Minimize trace inductance, especially low-impedance lines: all power traces (UGATE, PHASE, LGATE, GND, LVCC) should be short and wide, as much as possible. Should the driver have insufficient bias voltage applied, its outputs are floating. If the input bus is energized at a high dV/dt rate while the driver outputs are floating, due to self-coupling via the internal CGD of the MOSFET, the gate of the upper MOSFET could momentarily rise up to a level greater than the threshold voltage of the device, potentially turning on the upper switch. Therefore, if such a situation could conceivably be encountered, it is a common practice to place a resistor (RUGPH) across the gate and source of the upper MOSFET to suppress the Miller coupling effect. The value of the resistor depends mainly on the input voltage’s rate of rise, the CGD/CGS ratio, as well as the gate-source threshold of the upper MOSFET. A higher dV/dt, a lower CDS/CGS ratio, and a lower gate-source threshold upper FET will require a smaller resistor to diminish the effect of the internal capacitive coupling. For most applications, the integrated 20kΩ resistor is sufficient, not affecting normal performance and efficiency. The coupling effect can be roughly estimated with Equation 5, which assumes a fixed linear input ramp and neglects the clamping effect of the body diode of the upper drive and the bootstrap capacitor. Other parasitic components such as lead inductances and PCB capacitances, are also not taken into account. Figure 5 provides a visual reference for this phenomenon and its potential solution. –V DS ⎛ ----------------------------------⎞ dV ⎜ -----⋅ R ⋅ C iss⎟ dV ⎟ V GS_MILLER = ------- ⋅ R ⋅ C rss ⎜ 1 – e dt ⎜ ⎟ dt ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ R = R UGPH + R GI C rss = C GD (EQ. 5) C iss = C GD + C GS FN6601.2 March 19, 2009 ISL6622A Gate Drive Voltage Options UVCC VIN BOOT CGD DU The ISL6622 can drop the low-side MOSFET’s gate drive voltage when operating in DEM, while the high-side FET’s gate drive voltage of the DFN package can be connected to VCC or LVCC.
